Well there are also these XML files for iPlayer programmes (which I'm
using in the XBMC script)
http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/playlist/b008pbnv

Doesn't have everything, but it's all I need for my scriptage.

Screen-scraping wasn't much fun. Even though the iPlayer pages are all
valid markup and pretty easy to parse, it's so much nicer to have the
RSS feeds!
